How can it be a misunderstanding when he was clearly talking about her. He even used her name. I think you need to go back and read what he said clearly
I know right if it would be a misunderstanding, then the whole development of the story would shatter.
I really think it was always a misunderstanding. Not in the sense that she misheard. I feel like simply because of the guy's personality, his way of perceiving things is different. I also think they weren't meant to be together, their personalities didn't match, which is what caused everything.
Imagine it was all a misunderstanding and he was acc talking about smth else and he Acc loves her and she they both realsie it… what now… id still rather the black haired yummy guy… but I’d also feel bad for the white haired one (idk names)
